Saints D/ST - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The New Orleans Saints defense/special teams is a must-start in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans.

Read More

Blake Grupe - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe enjoyed an impressive Week 1, as he had a perfect kicking day in his NFL debut. Grupe should have another friendly matchup in Week 2 and can be safely inserted into lineups as a top-level kicker this week. Grupe drilled a 52-yard field goal in Week 1 and... Read More

Juwan Johnson - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson appeared to be the fourth target in the Saints' offense in Week 1 behind the trio of receivers.

Michael Thomas - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints second-year receiver Rashid Shaheed broke out in Week 1 with a 5-89-1 line against the Tennessee Titans.

He is in FLEX range... Read More

Chris Olave - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave will look to build off of his strong Week 1 performance on Monday Night Football against the Carolina Panthers this week. Carolina's top cornerback, Jaycee Horn (hamstring), is out for the game which should allow Olave free reign to make some noise yet again. Carolina has a solid... Read More

Taysom Hill - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill will likely be in his typical role as a gadget player on Monday night against the Carolina Panthers.

Kendre Miller - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) may make his NFL debut this Monday against the Carolina Panthers.

Jamaal Williams - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams had a heavy workload last week but struggled to get anything going against a stout Titans defensive front.

Derek Carr - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr projects as a low-range QB2 entering Week 2. Last week, the Carolina Panthers gave up just 115 yards through the air but that was largely due to the fact that Atlanta was committed to the run game. Monday night's game should be a low-scoring affair, and Carr is best... Read More
